“Pale ruby color, earthy raspberry nose, silky textured and crisp with bright, pure cherry and raspberry fruit, tangy acidity and lovely balance, long and charming.”

“New leather, camphor, forest floor and wild berry aromas race out of the glass along with a whiff of toasted nuts on this fragrant red. It’s light-bodied and elegantly structured, offering tart red cherry, aniseed, saline and blood orange alongside pliant tannins and tangy acidity. Drink through 2026.”
About The Winery
In 2007, Silvia Maestrelli founded Tenuta di Fessina in the village of Rovittello on the northeastern side of Mt. Etna. They have 17 acres of vineyards in Rovittello (2,200 feet) and 6 acres between Milo and Santa Maria di Licodìa (3,280 feet). These vineyards are located on different sides of the mountain in order to produce the best expressions of the indigenous varietals. There has also been a strong focus on hospitality: Seven rooms for guests were built inside a 17th century structure on the property. In collaboration with winemaker Federico Curtaz, Maestrelli has created one of the most successful and recognizable cellars in the Etna area and has become an exemplary ambassador of new Sicilian viticulture.
